US singers Ariana Grande and Pharrell Williams were among the stars in Paris for the Olympics opening ceremony.
The event was held in the heart of the city, along its main artery, the Seine, and saw performances from the likes of pop singer Lady Gaga.

Appearing at a red carpet event at the Trocadero, ahead of the ceremony, Williams, 51, wore a Louis Vuitton jumper paired with black shorts and a beige cap.
Meanwhile Yes, And? singer Grande, 31, opted for a light pink dress adorned with a bow and white gloves.
Standing alongside her was her Wicked co-star Cynthia Erivo, who plays Elphaba in the forthcoming musical movie, in which Grande stars as Glinda.
The London-born actress, 37, wore an emerald green strapless dress with a hat, gold jewellery and matching green nails.
American singer Lady Gaga sang in French during her performance at the Paris Olympics opening ceremony.
The 38-year-old hid behind a plume of pink feathers as she walked down a set of golden stairs next to the River Seine, close to Notre Dame cathedral.
The singer, real name Stefani Germanotta, appeared from behind the feathers and sang "good evening, welcome to Paris" before she engaged in a high-octane performance.
The Paparazzi singer, who performed alongside a group of dancers holding round pink, frilly props, wore a black bodice with a detachable black and pink ruffled skirt.
Among the other stars pictured in front of the Eiffel Tower was The Vampire Diaries actress Nina Dobrev.
The 35-year-old opted to wear a black and red leather jacket, black handbag and white shorts.
Braving the rain on Friday afternoon was editor in chief of American Vogue Anna Wintour and film director Baz Luhrmann.
While Wintour wore a blue vertically striped dressed with balloon sleeves, the Elvis director sported a cream coloured ensemble with a cap.
Musician John Legend also appeared at the event, alongside his wife and TV presenter Chrissy Teigen.
Legend, who sang a version of John Lennon’s Imagine in a video during the 2021 opening ceremony in Tokyo, wore a suit and white shirt while Teigen opted for a khaki-coloured ensemble with gold buttons.
